Story Behind The Song

This song is a personal favorite, about a guy that decides that he just cannot take one more day in his ordinary life. He suggests to his gal that they just hop in the car, put it in drive, and let the cards fall where they may! "'Cause I know life's gotta be better than this, on the other side."

Lyrics

Baby, come on over here
Lend your ears to me
You and me, girl, I think we need
A change in scenery

I don't know the destination, and the truth is, I just don't care
Flip the coin, pack the car up, heads or tails for anywhere

'Cause I know it's gotta be better on the other side
Come and sit down next to me, the wind will be our guide
Ooh yeah, we're gonna figure it out, as the miles pass on by
'Cause I know it's gotta be better than this, on the other side

Well, I've got 20 years at the factory
You've got 20 fixin' hair
And the thought of 20 more, or even one day
Is just too much to bear

So, I don't know the destination, and the truth is, I really don't care
Flip that coin, pack the car up, heads or tails, we're out of here

'Cause I know it's gotta be better on the other side
Come and sit down next to me, the stars will be our guide
Ooh yeah, we're gonna figure it out, as the miles pass on by
'Cause I know it's gotta be better than this, on the other side

No need to call your friends up or tell your family
We'll let 'em know when we get there, wherever "there" might be

'Cause I know it's gotta be better on the other side
Come and sit down next to me, fate will be our guide
Ooh yeah, we're gonna figure it out, as the miles pass on by
'Cause I know life's gotta be better than this, on the other side

Baby come on over here
Lend your ears to me
You and me, girl, I think we need
A change of scenery
